We stayed on this site for 12 nights from 14 September 2015 and couldn't have been happier. It's surrounded by mountains and is a peaceful haven of tranquility.  It's very close to Lac Estaing from where various well-signed paths lead you up into the higher vallies and mountains - for as far as you want to go.  The GR10 passes the site entrance.  Very close by is Arrens with a wonderful bakery, deli and National Park Centre.  Lots more walks within easy reach from Aste and Le Barrage du Tec.The owners Virginie and Herve are welcoming and helpful and work incredibly hard. Herve's sense of humour unites all nationalities and Virginie's home made cooking is not to be missed. If you're feeling hungry try the Pyrenean breakfast which they offer once a week! Quite an experience and payment is by donation (because that's the sort of people they are).  They have a fantastic selection of wine sold at ridiculously cheap prices in the restaurant. This is a place for nature lovers and we would love to return one day.
